first but again, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. so they have that closure down for quite some time. hopefully things are improving. all lanes are now open. you should use the dumbarton bridge just for the next maybe 15, 20 minutes. things should be good after 6:30. let's jump to the maps. we have a new trouble spot to report westbound 580 at high street. getting word of an accident where a vehicle may have hit a pedestrian in the road. no word yet if it's blocking the main lines of the freeway or if the accident happened on the off-ramp there. we'll get more details on this just a few minutes. we'll send it back to the news desk. >> thank you. was it a playful planing or playful prank? a san francisco sergeant at first claimed responsibility for a high-speed joyride through a tunnel in town. elizabeth wenger reports. >> reporter: the video is

astonishing. he is changing his story but the first question is why. why would a san francisco cop post this on facebook to begin with? the video shows a driver at larkin and zooming top speeds. check this out. that clip was posted on sergeant carl t's facebook page in september. it appears to show him driving 100 miles per hour in the lamborghini through the broadway tunnel in seconds. there is no way to actually identify who is driving. in the comments section of his facebook page he bragged, we were all drunk. some people were surprised who saw the videos. others say since there were no other cars around, no harm, no foul. >> definitely safe. >> is he going to lose his job? that's reckless. >> he only took advantage of it because he is a cop. >> he probably would want to do

it differently or not at all. >> reporter: the officer is changing his story. he told a weekly newspaper he wasn't driving and they were never going 100 miles per hour. he south dade the comment about being drunk was a joke. his -- he said the comment about being drunk was a joke. his facebook was taken down. the san francisco police department says the matter is under investigation. so obviously, the san francisco police officer could be in some big trouble here coming up. frank and michelle, back to you. >> thank you. new this morning, a cyclist rescued from underneath a street sweeper vehicle in san francisco, the man on his bike collided with the cleaning truck around midnight at 6th and brannan streets. the cyclist was taken to the hospital with nonlife- threatening injuries. and we have new details on a campus lockdown in southern california. police are still trying to find

two robbery suspects this morning. at least one was last seen running on the cal state fullerton campus. that prompted a lockdown that lasted 8 hours last night. the suspect was never found but the lockdown was lifted just before midnight. now, the suspects were wanted for robbery in a shooting earlier at a jewelry store. they were chased through three counties before crashing near the fullerton campus. now, three of the five suspects are under arrest. one of them you will see ran out on the baseball diamond where the l.a. police chief was at a toy giveaway at the time. the suspect gave up when he saw the police officers. the oakland police department avoids a federal takeover although it could happen. instead a federal judge has ordered a compliance director to keep track of reforms in the department. that person will help opd implement reforms required by the settlement of a 12-year-old civil rights lawsuit. politics is not the only battle governor brown is

the question now, where is john mcafee? he has been back in the united states but still no sign of the software tycoon. he was last seen leaving miami international airport last night after guatemala authorities put him on a plane when he was kicked out of the country for crossing the border illegally. >> it was a very tricky negotiation getting out of guatemala. they wanted to return me to belize. the problem was that again police in guatemala are going to be signing a peace accord early next year. belize demanded my return. >> no one knows where he is now probably somewhere in florida. mcafee snuck into guatemala to escape questioning by belize police after his neighbor was murdered. instead of recalling san francisco sheriff ross mirkarimi a group is gathering signatures to urge him to resign. the move is to avoid a costly recall. the petition needs 50,000

signatures within the next week. earlier this year mirkarimi pleaded guilty for bruising his wife's arm. he is on probation for three years. he refused to step down as san francisco sheriff. the wrong turn for apple. why iphone users are celebrating after the maps fiasco. >> a late-night joyride at a slow speed. a man on a lawnmower learns a tough lesson [ non-english language ] >> it is a success in any language. the bay area school redefining bilingual education. it's a "cool school" and coming up next. ,,,, you won't take my life.

>> thank you. the "fiscal cliff" is fast approaching but stalemate in washington continues, the white house demanding tax hikes on the top 2%. president obama lowered the amount from 1.6 to $1.4 trillion. that's not good enough for the republicans holding out for cuts to programs like social security. congressional leaders warn lawmakers not to make holiday travel plans. they will work to the last minute. it's been a busy morning for all things business. >> certainly. he has plenty of new numbers from washington and some new maps from apple and this would be jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. good morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: and we have some decent news on the economy but that's largely being overshadowed by the "fiscal cliff" talks. a lot of worries on wall street if an agreement can't be reached by the end of the year. but as far as of the economy goes, decent news especially on the job market. the labor department reporting that first time unemployment claims fell by 29,000 to

fired. that has apple users happy. dow down 4, nasdaq up a fraction, s&p down a fraction. and change no benefit from the story. right now it's down 1.25%. google up over 1%. back to you. >> thank you, jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. just like the iphone and itunes, apple may be one step closer to changing the way you watch tv. the "wall street journal" reports the company is testing prototypes for high rez television sets. the ceo tim cook said apple tv is no longer just a hobby for the company. apple already sells a tv box that streams online content. another clue of about the new tv? supplier foxconn invested in a liquid crystal display factory. so hm, stay tuned. are you tired of hitting the mute button every time your favorite program takes a commercial break? i know i am. turns out members of congress are, too. the fcc is directed to
